Agency and identity of female Arab students entering a technological university

Résumé

This report studies the progression of cultural and mathematical identities of female Arab students during their first semester of engineering studies in a technological university in Israel. The report focuses on the cases of two students, Mira and Lena, who demonstrated remarkably different trajectories of identity development. Data was analyzed by closely examining narratives in students’ Space of Authorship related to gender and ethnicity. Findings show that Mira’s Space of Authorship included multiple narratives relating to ethnic and religious conflicts, upon which Mira enacted agency by debating and choosing specific courses of action both in social life and in mathematics learning. In contrast, Lena’s Space of Authorship drew upon psychological discourse to explain her difficulties in ways that did not afford her agency to act back on the challenges she was facing.
